Permission to reproduce and the fee payable covers only the specific occasion and use detailed in the application. Any additional use requires a new application and may incur an additional fee.

The Trust reserves the right to refuse applications.

The reproduced image must be high quality and the work must be reproduced in full. No cropping or overprinting is permitted.

Acknowledgement of the reproduction permission should read Courtesy of the Colin McCahon Research and Publication Trust.

Copyright approval will be granted on the payment of a fee. Until payment is received by the Trust, the approval is conditional and publication should not proceed. Exemption or reduction of fees may be granted if in the opinion of the Trust it is in the public interest.

Two copies of the publication are requested for the McCahon Trust archives.
